Marines testing personal solar panels

A company of U.S. Marines based in Afghanistan has been testing roll-up solar panels to see if they can replace hundreds of pounds of batteries. The Marines of India Company used the panels during a three week patrol through southern Afghanistan, and have been using the panels to recharge radios, GPS units, and other electronic Related posts: US Marines using solar thermal power at Camp Lejeune GM testing the Volt’s batteries UPS expands testing of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles

Convert Water to Gas Can Be Done

With soaring gas prices, one thing we have tried to do in the past is exchange our SUVs to smaller vehicles given that it does not consume that much gas. Since this is not enough, some have decided to take the next step forward by inventing a system that can convert water to gas. This

New Platinum Could Mean Cheaper, More Efficient Fuel Cells

Fuel cells are clean and green cells. They work without polluting the environment. Fuel cells are electrochemical devices that transform the chemical energy of a fuel into electricity generating water as a by-product. Fuel cells are most used in space flights but they can be best utilized in electric vehicles to reduce air pollution. Posted in: Fuel Cells , Hydrogen Fuel , Inventions

New Design Strategy for the Artificial Leaf

Scientists are quite optimistic that hydrogen will emerge as the fuel of the future and the world would be driven by ‘hydrogen economy’. The only byproduct of hydrogen fuel is water vapor. By using hydrogen fuel we can reduce the harmful effects of greenhouse gases. Currently many research labs are engaged in duplicating the Posted in: Environment , Future Energy , Solar Power

The East Coast is About to Become the Hydrogen Highway

Everyone is excited about hydrogen cars, but there is always the challenge of how they are going to fill up. Most cars are restricted by the distance that they can travel on a full tank and nothing more. Few places, especially on the East Coast, offer a refueling station to allow the cars to Posted in: Future Energy , Hydrogen Fuel , Industry

New Hydrogen Storage Method

Hydrogen is an extremely environment friendly fuel as when it burns it releases only water vapor into the atmosphere, but the problem is that it is not easy to store it because it needs to be stored like other compressed gases. A new solid may solve the problem. A nonreactive noble gas called xenon Posted in: Fuel Cells , Hydrogen Fuel , Inventions
